2023 offseason thread

[shopson67]

I’ve seen pre injury rose as the most common one

What can Scoop get in trade vs Dame in trade is the real question. Scoop and Dame together doesn't seem ideal. We know the Pacers are trying to trade up; what would they give up to move from 7 to 3? Turner for Nurkic? More?

I just think the fanbase love for Dame is along the lines of Kobe with the Lakers (obviously sentiments have swelled after his passing); it's a tough sell to dump him for pieces.

He's always back in forth. He seems confused. He always talks about legacy and being loyal but then he says he wants to win.

Not necessarily back and forth, wants more from his GM.

His team is capped out and can’t trade a first until 2030 outside of this year

Not much they can do. They already made moves in the past. This team has seemingly maxed out the potential to this point. Start with your young guys and rebuild. No point in having Dame in on the long journey to this point

But how badly does someone want that #3 pick? That's a lot of value that could potentially exchange salary for better fits around Dame.

Moving Dame is the proper choice, I'm just saying that the franchise is in a tough spot with it's fan base to do so.

They can trade #3. They can trade Simons. They can bring back Grant (or S&T). These could also be moves to start fresh as well.

It's tough to watch teams fumble to build around their stars.

running your business like a PR firm is how you never win jack

Scoot would've gone #1 last year, allegedly.

Houston should probably be cashing in firsts to move up to 3.

But they have the wrong partners in front of them. Charlotte has drafted so poorly that more picks might be worse for them lol.

but dropping from 2 to 4 for them would be interesting. Miller does fit their team quite well. Him and Bridges at the forward spots is something.

Another team i'm not sure what their direction is.

They thought they'd be a playoff team.

They traded away lottery pick for...a future lesser pick.

Lost bridges.

Ball got hurt

Thought they'd be a playin contender...and were pretty awful.

They also have a decision to make on Rozier.

Huh. Wonder why Zion is trending. Is he hurt again?

*clicks Twitter trend*

OH.

But financially in a few years?

Probably

That's what I'm thinking. He needs to make up his mind.

Don't be talking about loyalty and there being more important things than winning.

Then talk about wanting to win.

Having said that...Dude is agreat player and the Blazers have basically wasted his career by never fully committing to winning a title.

Better shooter is debatable. Russell shot better during the regular season in 22/23 in all 3 categories. Conley did step up in the playoffs.

Conley is a catch and shoot guy.

DLo is a shoot off the dribble guy

One fits a lot better than the other.

 

[The Q]

Lakers on mle?

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers on mle?

He can be gabe backup next season

 

[msgkings322]

What do you see as Scoot's comp?

Grayson Allen!







(j/k)

 

[msgkings322]

If he was guaranteed a ring he'd probably do it

 

[The Q]

Grayson Allen!







(j/k)

He lacks the leg strength to be Allen….

 

[wildturkey]

Lakers on mle?

BRUH WTF

I had to read this 4 times to make sure it wasn't a parody account. To just straight up waive him is wild.


EDIT: Also, about the Lakers, that might be a decent option because it looks like Schroder is gonna get more than the MLE.

I’m surprised by this

The only way this makes sense is if Paul is gonna pull a harden and resign for the vet minimum thus taken less to open up room for the mle to add a key bench player

Cause otherwise…I’m baffled
